Beat the Machine: Rebooted - Coming Summer 2021
Hello Everyone,
With Beat the Machine’s last patch being around 3 months ago, we wanted to provide some news and announcements for Beat the Machine’s future. We are happy to announce that Beat the Machine: Rebooted will be releasing in the Summer of 2021. Oh and don’t worry, if you already own the game, you get all the fancy stuff below.
Beat the Machine as you all know takes the retro-arcade feel of top-down shooters and spruces them up with a Skill and Stat Tree constantly evolving the way you play. In Beat the Machine: Rebooted we are completely revamping the original skill tree. While some of the skills in the upcoming launch will remain mostly the same, expect major changes across the Skill Tree.
On our Instagram we posted a video of our reworked Lashing Blitz. Lashing Blitz now effects a much larger area and zaps electric damage to all nearby enemies. Lashing Blitz is one of the skills that will stay close to the original. Other skills like Doom Blades, have been completely redone. Doom Blades and Enhanced Doom have been condensed into one powerful active. Toggling Doom Blades off, is similar to the current in-game with a faster rotation speed, but Toggling them on, causes Doom Blades to heal you for each kill you obtain, rather than grant direct movement speed. The other exciting part about the Skill Tree? We currently have planned 20+ new skills to enhance the current gameplay of Beat the Machine.
Beat the Machine: Rebooted is also taking a look at the frustrating parts of the current game. Some of those frustrating pieces come from the Skill Tree, leaving the player at certain tiers to have no options and have a required point to take. The new Skill Tree will always have 2 or more options per tier, no longer forcing players to take a certain skill. Another frustrating portion was the level balancing. While most of our player base has made it to the first boss, there are specific levels that we keep finding players have extreme difficulty moving on. We’re taking a look at each level and rebalancing it with the new skill tree. To make the first levels more exciting and a bit easier, Wave Dash is now default on the player. Use it to dash and reposition yourself to take out T.O.M’s enemy swarm.
Rebooted isn’t just giving old content an update either. We’re also adding brand new content. One of the new things being added to our game, is a new survival map, Demrova. Demrova will offer some new things that were not part of Systolis, our first survival map. While we aren’t ready to share any specifics yet, just understand the way you buy actives will be completely different.
That’s all we have to share for now. For weekly updates, visit our Instagram at btm_beatthemachine.
